Love, loss and understanding
This book consists of tales of love, loss, understanding and equality, as Mina meets Michael and opinions differ, due to Michael's parents being leaders of an anti-immigrant group, yet Mina is a Muslim refugee from Afghanistan.
I believe that this book is targeted at people above the age of 14, and before reading the book, no matter what stance you have on political situations, go into it being open minded.
I loved this book because it shows that if you are uneducated, then you are ignorant, much like Michael is, and with the knowledge that he gains, his understanding grows as he does research. And I think that this portrays a real understanding on how society reacts to political situations, as most people are uneducated about certain topics.
This book made me laugh, as Abdel-Fattah intelligently and sensitively wrote Mina and she, as a character, makes jokes about the political situations, as it is very tactful and well articulated.
It was definitely a page turner, as you see relationships between characters blossom and grow. I'd have to say that my favourite character is Paula, as she is witty, intelligent and is also a little bit vulnerable - which makes her relateable.
